THE CO.MMUNE or p.IEIS.

But few people are fully aware of the
immense proportions which the Paris
Commune had taken on before it's final
suppression. Its military strength was
simply enormous. Cluseret told ME of
his furnishing rations, at the time lie
was delegate to the Ministry of War
to l23, 900 soldiers in Paris. And the
amount of war material found in possess
sion Of the Commune at the time of its
collapse was prodigious. There were
54S, 900 guns, of different models. wifi
saber bayonets; $4,000 cavalry sabers.
OF every form and description IA, 900
Enfield rifles; $4,000 revolvers; max
ing total OF nearly 100000 weapons of
every kind taken from the hands of the
Communards. Independently of the
vast amount OF this particular material
the military authorities of the Com
mune had LOO pieces of cannon and
mitrailleuses, which they had robbed
from the city and which they had used
with such terrible effect. But wbo4
must ever excite amazement is the
knowledge of the vast number of the
people in Paris at this time who not
only were in sympathy with the Com
mune, but who allotted and sustained if
in its career of crime and blood. The
minority, embracing the better class Of
Paris, was completely cowed and sub
dued by this vast insurrectionary mass
OF population. - En- Minister e. b.

roads over which it would have been
possible to drive them had there been.
Every one who could afford it kept a
riding-horse, and, indeed, without one
it would have been impossible for
people 20 go beyond walking distance
This Of course made a great many
horses TO be held on market-days or on
any occasion that brought number Of
people into town. Now, little Will
Shakespeare, who was in manhood to
manage and direct theater, had tho
same head for organization and man
aeement in his boyhood He soon Or
ganizces number of his friends and
schoolmntes under him into an associa-
ton whose business it was always to
have certain of its members on hand at
the inn End other prominent places on
market-dsys, and there to stand ready
to take horses bride from the rider,
see that the animal was taken to the
stable and cared for if necessary, OF
only to hold him quietly until his owner
reappeared. These boys came to be
known to Stratford as "Will Shake
speare's Lads.
Now to show you what stuff was in
our little Will. Not only did he put
this scheme in motion, but he so
trained and drilled the lads under him
in punctuaIity, good behavior, respect
full bearing, and honesty that the repu-
tation of them went abroad as being
the most reliable and trustworthy boys
in Stratford. When rider would APP
pear in the village and boy came for
ward to hold his horse, the common
inquiry was: care you one Of Will
shakcspeare's lads? I don't want any
other"
Only to one of these boys trained
and instructed by little Will would the
people round about intrust their valu-
able horses. Was not that reputation
to win boys, and can you not see in it
prophecy of the success that was to
attend his efforts later in life?
What William Shakespeare did he
did thoroughly, and as horse boy or
playwright made absolute perfection
his aim. It may be that at present
many of you are too young to under
stand and appreciate some of his greatest
work; but as you read and learn to love
play after play, pause and consider
the amount of study, the tremendous
application, the untiring labor, the re-
search, and the Investigation that each
OF those dramas must have cost him.

PREFERENCES AMoNG CREDITORS.

-
Many of the frauds in commercial
life are due to the practice of making
preferences by insolvent debtors. The
law justly exempts certain small
amount of property from seizure for
debt, basing this exemption on the fact
that the debtor, however poor, is en-
titled to live, and to at least the means
necessary for him to use in earning a
support for himself and family. The
poor debtor having wife and children
is entitled to larger exemptions than
he could claim as single man. The
preference Of the laborer for wages due
is also based on sound reason, for it is
to be presumed that such wages up to
a moderate amount is needed for his
own support and that of his family until
he can obtain employment elsewhere.
1t is not the intention of law that a
debtors property shall be taken from
him so as to leave either himself, his
family, or his employees to be dependent
upon public charity. That would be to
take from the poor to give to the
wealthy creditor, only that the latter
may be taxed for the support of
the debtor or his employees by charity
at public cost. But outside the legal
preferences there is no reason what
ever that any should be made. Let the
creditors all stand on equal footing and
divide equitably what the law does not
allow the debtor to retain. In practice
it is nearly always true that the pre-
terences made by debtors to certain
creditors are either fraudulent or are
secured by the worst Shylocks, who
have long bled their unfortunate victim
by usurious interest, and who keep
the closest watch when their time comes
to seize the pound Of flesh, and thus de-
fraud others far more deserving than
themselves.-America7e Cnliuotor.
